To the tune of “The Grand Old Duke of York”:
When you start C25k
It may well make you frown:
Your calves will ache to the top of the hill
And your knees will ache back down !
But never give up on the plan
For soon you will be in the swing:
With legs grown strong
You’ll fly along,
Glad and proud to be running 😄
Brilliant....I’ll be singing that when I start my hill training!! (Can’t believe I just said that!?!?!)
You going uphill too ? We really are running twins 😂
Haha, it’s supposed to help you speed up!! I’m sure the only place I’ll get to quicker is my grave!!
Speeding up would be good. I can still walk faster 😂
Snap....my normal walking not even brisk walking 😂
Twins, like I said 😂
I read on fb today how a lady did the London marathon in over 10 hours. It was dark by the time she’d finished and she was being jeered at etc etc but she carried on and bloody finished. She’s fantastic,
How dare people jeer at that ! She’s positively heroic !
I’m not sure I would’ve persevered for that long....I’m doing a 5k woodland run in May!! My first actual race....eeek! I haven’t even done 5K yet 😂😂
A woodland run sounds lovely x
I’ve only run on road!!! Better start going off road soon 😂
I thought that too 😀
That the woodland run sounded lovely, I mean !
I found a bit of woodland trail today which I tagged onto my road run: I want more!! 😊
Good for you ! Great target 🎯
lol... Brilliant 
Thanks BK, it seems ages since your last mantra!
Sometime in January, I think. The Black Dog isn’t into poetry. Things must be looking up 😀
Well that would be fabulous news. Keep fighting!
Thanks TC. Nothing else for it 😄
😂😂
That is brilliant BCK, I was singing along with your lyrics, I like especially the bit "you fly along", we all fly ✈️along here on C25K 👍, it could be called, we're 🏃 running in the air. 😊
That’s one for next Christmas maybe 😄
👍🏃
Fantastic...,, 🎶🎶🎶 I can see that tune being stuck in my head when I next run😂😂😊🏃🏼♀️
Enjoy 😂
Well done BCK, Glad to see you climbed back on the horse after your last post and the sense of humour back!! Keep smiling!
Thanks JT x
Love it!! Glad you’re feeling a bit more yourself today 😊
Thanks Jill. Slowly climbing out of the pit 😀
That’s good to hear ☺️
HAha!! I love this!!! Just sang it out loud! X
Anything that helps keep the legs moving 😂
Yay!!!! I have so missed your mantras. Singing away again 😀
Excellent ! Glad to contribute x
Like it! That was me today up and down a hill doing my wk3run2!
Well done you ! Hope nothing aches too badly 😄
